THE INSIGHT DIFFERENCE
Insight Vacations has set up a new desk dedicated to support Home Based travel agents’ sales — a move that underscores Insight Vacations’ ongoing commitment to the travel agency community. Home Based agents with questions can call Insight’s dedicated toll free number (866) 560-5776. The Home Based desk was put in place this past fall and is manned by experienced Insight senior reservations professionals.
Equally important, Insight’s 2006 program offers unique opportunities for travel agents to expand group sales with its USA & Canada touring program featuring 13 premium North American escorted vacations. Insight’s Country Roads program for 2006 also offers new selling opportunities for travel to Europe. Combined, Insight Vacations’ 2006 program represents new profit opportunities for travel agents — including Home Based agents.

Country Roads
Insight Vacations invites travel agents to help clients discover another side of Britain and Europe on its Country Roads program, perfect for repeat travelers and appealing to families looking for a unique holiday.
On an Insight Country Roads itinerary, clients skip big cities in favor of delightful provincial towns and picturesque villages. On travel days, clients trade the busy highways for the scenic secondary roads that few get to see, savoring unhurried lunches in restful hamlets where they can soak up the local charm.
Insight Vacations offers impeccably planned itineraries, leisurely paced touring, an emphasis on personal service, smaller groups with just 40 passengers, twice the legroom of a standard touring coach, outstanding hotels and premium highlights all included in the price.

Group Sales
Travel agents who want to build sales and expand their client base should review the details of Insight Vacations’ 2006 program and especially Insight’s group sales incentives. Group sales are critical profit generators and, backed by Insight’s quality program, a sure fire way to build client satisfaction — and repeat business.

Consider these group sales features:
Fully refundable deposit — up until 120 days prior to travel; $100 per person to hold air;
Liberal tour conductor/discount policy. Minimum group: 8;
Custom groups tailored to client needs;
Agents earn commissions on both air and land;
High client satisfaction — 96% of Insight’s groups would travel with us again.

Insight’s Group Department has skilled professionals who can help you develop outstanding programs for your clients and operates from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Our Group telephone number: (877) 817-5020 Group Fax: (800) 753-1065.

North America Tours
Insight Vacations programs bring a commitment to quality that has made Insight Europe’s largest premium escorted tour operator and a leader in North America. All Insight Vacations are fully commissionable to travel agents, with high levels of consumer satisfaction that builds repeat business.
Insight’s 2006 North American program includes changes based on customer feedback and a commitment to offering new options attractive to consumers.
Insight Vacations USA & Canada itineraries begin operating this Spring and cost as low as $174 per person per day. Guests can expect the quality, value and style they would experience on an Insight Premium Europe & Britain tour.
